This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Set a victory target of 143 runs in their second innings in 1½ hours, Buckinghamshire won at 6.20 pm in the final over. Jones scored the boundary that brought the visitors their victory. For the winners, Wright's two innings of 57 and 53 both contained 5 fours. In the Buckinghamshire first innings, P C F de Paravicini and Jones added 53 runs for the seventh wicket. Williams's 77 for Berkshire included 12 fours and Rowe's 71 contained 10 fours. In the Berkshire first innings Williams and Rowe put on 105 runs for the third wicket, and Relf and Barker 59 runs for the last wicket. Wright's 69.4 overs and Barker's 63 in the match were the first and second highest totals of the season. In addition, Wright's 44.4 overs in an innings was the second highest of the season. Further, Wright's 24 maidens in the first Berkshire innings, and his 37 in the match were both highest totals of the season. The match aggregate of 856 runs was the second highest of the season. The two-wicket margin of victory was the second closest of the season. The 5 catches held by Hobbs in the match were the most by a fielder during the season. There is some uncertainty about the Berkshire batting orders in both innings, which have been derived from the fall of wickets and match account details.
